I believe most women go through some sort of body image issues or insecurities at some stage in their lives, unfortunately (if you haven’t, good for you!). I know I have! Especially the major physical changes we go through during our teen years, pregnancy and when ageing can trigger some negative feelings about ourselves… Being Read More
Pregnant employee – From an asset to a liability?
Fatigue, nausea, aches and pains, endless doctor appointments at inconvenient times and restrictions on travel – a pregnant woman is hardly the employee of the year… Or that’s how I’ve been feeling at least. But has pregnancy really made me a worse employee? My first reaction was “yes probably” but then I started thinking. Worse Read More
What has pregnancy done to our relationship?
Disclaimer: reflects mummy’s views only (also, a bit cheesy) 🙂 Short answer – it’s made it stronger. When we decided to start a family (about nine months ago) I felt like we had a solid foundation for our relationship and the kind of friendship/partnership I haven’t experienced before. And I’m glad we did because although Read More
Disappointments…
I haven’t talked about our Project House for awhile. I had a very different post in mind, to be honest. One where I would announce we had finally bought a house and were going to move after summer! We’ve been looking for a house in London for nearly a year now, have bid on numerous Read More
Enjoying the honeymoon trimester – 17 weeks pregnant
Without getting all scientific here, I’ve always believed that time cannot be constant, at least not in the way we experience it. From the positive pregnancy test until the 12-week scan, time was passing so slowly… I was counting days to get passed the “red zone”, would have sat my legs crossed all day if that Read More
Why I washed my hair with ketchup
Pregnancy is a new thing for me. With it has come all kinds of more or less surprising and not always pleasant symptoms – I’m still waiting for that pregnancy glow! What I really didn’t expect was ending up with GREEN hair! Ok, in fairness, it’s not a direct result of my pregnancy. But indirectly Read More

First baby kicks at 16 weeks!
The most exciting recent pregnancy development by far is feeling the baby’s movements for the first time! I cannot describe the feeling – a mixture of amazement, wonder, disbelief, LOVE… The most bizarre yet wonderful experience. It did made me think of the movie “Alien” a bit though, sorry! 🙂 We are 16 weeks pregnant Read More
Prenatal yoga – baby and me all “zen”
Once I reached week 13 of my pregnancy I was finally welcome back to my yoga studio – yay! I could start the pregnancy yoga classes which are not recommended during the first trimester. Yoga is excellent physical exercise but for me it’s always been more of a mental practice, helping me to stop, breath, Read More
European citizen carrying a British baby in a Brexit world…
This is not a political post, although it easily could’ve become one. I’ve decided to leave the political debate outside of my baby bubble. However, ignoring politics all together would be impossible even if my job didn’t require staying up to speed on current events – simply too much is going on! No doubt the Read More
